It is not a common occasion that are main stage is shared between such great bands: Dillinger Escape Plan are the essence of today’s hardcore music, Maybeshewill are post rock at its best, while Circles represent pro-gressive metal from Australia. Come with an open mind, leave with your head blown off!

Berlin has always been the best scene for electronic music, no matter how quirky and tricky they are. This is the place where three German gentleman, Brandt, Brauer and Frick have started their „acoustic techno” project using instruments like analogue synthesizers, vibraphones, guitars, percussion, a piano… the list is endless, and so are the possibilities.

It is almost unbelievable that Ozric Tentacles are 30 years old already, but this is their anniversary tour. Pure instrumentalism with crazy grooves and psychedelia that makes them one of the basic still active bands of space rock. Playing before them, check out Trottel Stereodream Ex-perience, too!

Peter Vermeesch multiinstrumentalist Belgian composer dreamed of an innovative and witty big band and went beyond expectations when he founded Flat Earth Society in 1999. The band consist of 16 members, all of them the master of their own instrument and these geniuses are kept together and guided by Vermeesch. Before the shows of FES and supporting act Úzgin Űver, you can see a documentary in our exhibition hall called Jazz in Turkey.

The undisputed figurehead of Berlin techno brings the sound of legendary club Berghain to Budapest for a night. A truly amazing expe-rience, not strictly for techno lovers!

This tiny little woman is one of the most em-blematic figures of modern French chanson. To the most of us, she is known as the voice of Dance with Me and This Is Not a Love Song cov-ered by Nouvelle Vague, but if you have seen her live you will also remember her many acts of cuteness, smiling heartwarmingly at the audi-ence and singing barefoot. Now she is back on the decks with her album Bye Bye Manchester.

What would The Rolling Stones and The Doors be like, if all their members were in their early 20s? We can never know, but energetic rock and roll band Ivan & The Parazol and Birth of Joy from the Neth-erlands are pretty good options. And it is not only our opinion: after this gig, both bands head for the US as the next step forward worldwide success.

These dutch gentlemen are famous for their clev-er funky that noone can avoid to dance to. After years and years of crowded parties and packed dancefloors they are still making new songs and this time they are bringing them to Budapest!

Emika is one of the hottest topics in electronic music right now. She’s sensitive, she’s sensual and she knows how to make an impact on the audience – either live or at popular dance clubs, or at your own speakers at home. She made a strong debut and now it’s your turn to judge: is her second album, DVA as strong as her first album? And if you didn’t know Marge before, see her live now, as she has also just released her new material, Stronger.

Now, that post-rock is getting more and more international attention, we are happy to announce that we host ef, a quintet from Sweden who has published their fourth album Ceremonies just recently. With prominent Hungarian bands Képzelt Város who also present us new material and Rosa Parks added to the evening’s lineup, it will be a shelter for the ears in the storm of so many vocals-based bands.

An intErviEw with KArin PArK

living without stupid rules

that was made up out of fear

You have had a religious upbringing, living in Japan and studying in a mis-sionary school. how did the religion and living remote and far from your homeland impact your music?

I think it had a huge impact on me. I approach life from a spiritual perspective and religion have always been a part of my life. For better and for worse. I’ve constantly throughout my life been questioning all the weird things that comes with religion and I hate when people claim to know the truth about something that no one really can know anything about. At the same time, there is a lot of beautiful people who have an inner light because of their beliefs. It’s interesting and inspiring and kind of nice that it’s not really based on facts. Like music.

To live in Japan was creatively stimulating. We lived pretty much in the jungle and there were no magazines and pop culture for us to show the way for how to behave or be styled. So we just created our own little world. It was like a dream for a kid like me. But of course, when I moved back, there was a big clash between the world I had made up and western culture real-ity. It was very brutal to me and I’ve never been able to fit in. I eventually turned that around to something good but I struggled for a long time.

As a swedish musician you gained much success in norway, picking up many awards, among them two norwe-gian grammys, starring in a norwegian horror movie and even writing lyrics for Margaret Berger, norway’s entry to the Eurovision song Contest 2013. how could this success happen in the neigh-bouring country?

I just happened to move there when I finished school. I had some friends who lived there and I really liked the dialect they speak. And I got really impressed by the music scene in Bergen where I lived. I stayed there and things started to move on and when I got a record deal I decided to see what happened and things moved very quickly. My first record was a big success there. Eventually I started to go more international and started to travel more in Europe. 12 years later I’m back in Sweden but Norway is like a second home country to me.

where do you live now and what is the musical microclimate there like?

I live in an old church on the Swedish countryside in my home village called Djura. I used to live in Oslo in Norway but the singer from Arabrot who is my boyfriend and I got sick of it and decided to see if we could get a studio and a vibrant music life going on back in Djura instead. It’s just a really creative vibe there. We arrange concerts, record music and invite people to play with us there. And there is loads of space and equipment so we can get really experimental. I have a flat in London too. I stay there for months sometimes and I have many friends and people I write with but to be honest I really love to stay in the church whenever I can.

Are there any countries you dream about to visit or countries/places/cities where you want to go back to discover them more?

There are many places I would like to go and will go to. But right now I’ve been travelling for so long. I kind of miss home a bit.

how do you see your development as an artist from superworldunkown to highwire Poetry?

It’s been a long journey since then. 10 years has gone by and I’m working on my 5th album. I’m so much more confident as a musician now. Even if the first record is very different from what I do now, I still think I’ve almost gone full circle. I’ve always been good at pop melodies. That’s what I did then and that’s what I’m doing now more than ever on this new album, even if the at-titude have changed and I’ve allowed myself and learned to trust my own visions much more.

For an outside observer the swedish music scene seems very much con-verging. there are many things that link together musicians who work in different genres. how do you see it from inside?

I don’t really see it from the inside. I’ve never been a part of the Swedish mu-sic scene and I don’t think I ever will be. I’ve always been an outsider. I’m not really famous in Sweden at all. I think I sell more records in any other European country than Sweden for some reason. My record is not even out there. Isn’t that bizarre? what is your relationship with the fash-ion today? Do you have any favorite fashion designers?

My relationship with fashion is more re-laxed than people might think, I’d say. I work as a model sometimes and I love to be creative with clothes and stuff. But I’m really just a country girl who know what I like. My favorite designers are Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto, Ann De-meulemeester and that kind of stuff. It’s all a bit black. I try to bring some color in but it’s hard...

You played a minor role in a horror film. Do you intend to play in more movies in the future?

I’d love to play in another movie. It’s fun. I was called in for an audition not too

long ago but I didn’t get the part, haha. I had to have a specific accent. I didn’t really pull it off. Right now I’m very focused on writing songs but at some point I’d love to do it. Film is more teamwork. It’s something that a lot of people create together and to act is just a piece of the puzzle. I like that. Being a solo artist can be a bit lonely sometimes even if you get a lot of love too of course.

in some of your interviews i read about your involvement in social issues. More and more female artists (f.e. savages, Crystal Castles, etc.) are ad-vocating for feminism and social injustice. what issues bother you most?

I just think that people should be able to be and express whatever they were born with and live a rich life in safety and love without people judging them because of stupid rules that was made up out of fear for the abnormal. That is not really politics. It’s just human kindness. We should be able to feel free, that’s all I want.

what kind of live concert we will see in Budapest and what are your plans for the near future?

You will see me and my brother David absolutely killing it on stage, giving it our outmost to do a great show and involve the audience in the magic that it means to play live. You won’t be disappointed, I promise you. I will have you seeing new colors. That’s what it’s all about.

Tamás Soós’ art is all about being on the road. The artist is a wanderer both of existing paths and descriptive styles. He puts an accent on symbolism and he is a real researcher of melancholy.

Soós has started a series of photos in Cobh, Ireland (the magical seaside town, where the Titanic has made its last stop)in 1992, which are the core of this exhibition. Soós has started to base his work on newspaper stories and made a series called News where the everyday happenings become significant under and through the ink. This is true history, and this is our time.

Our beloved light art series continue in October with more new artists and fresh ideas. Int he first seven days of the month, Glowing Bulbs team up with the Binaura team of young talents and create a city layout that you can use to bring movement to the animation on the walls. On the other hand, the end of the month belongs to the next generation: media designer students of MOME University will make an ego/self-definition themed audiovisual pop-up exhibition accompanied by a lot of interesting mini-events as well as a

The exhibition also features an album. Soós has made an exhibition in 1996 at Budapest Kiscelli Museum where Matthew Barney American artist asked him what should he think. To this provocative question, Soós answered: ”Just think melancholically” and they had their picture taken together at the very moment. This inspired Soós to make people say ”Think melancholically”. Here you will be able to see 10 of these pieces.

The exhibition opens at October 8 at 20h.

The Stanley Maneuver ad Asio Otus live acts and several performances. On the top of all this, the October 30 concerts will have a special visual by Glowing Bulbs as part of the Lightworks series. As usual, all installations in the exhibition space are free to visit.

A38-MVM Light Painting and Lightworks are supported by MVM Hungarian Electricity Private Limited Company.
